Latter-day Saint Church Unveils Temple Renderings for Vienna and Culiacán

The release signals design-phase progress in a global temple-building push.

Overview

  • The Church published exterior designs Monday on ChurchofJesusChrist.org for temples in Vienna, Austria, and Culiacán, Mexico.
  • The Vienna temple will be Austria’s first and is planned as a multistory, 15,300-square-foot building on a 0.80-acre site at Silbergasse 2.
  • The Culiacán temple is planned as a one-story, 10,000-square-foot building on a 5-acre site off Avenida Milenium in Colonia Country Tres Ríos with adjacent patron housing.
  • Both projects remain in planning and design with no construction start reported in the latest updates.
  • The contrast is clear, with about 4,700 members in Austria and more than 1.5 million in Mexico, where Culiacán is one of 27 temples in various stages.
